Porter is a very dark beer. It is a little thicker than a regular beer and about the color of soy sauce. It has a slightly bitter hint to it. I personally dislike regular beer but do like a porter. My sis' daughter makes it on occasion and always gives me a dozen 12 oz. bottles. I like to add it to chiles, stews and I used it in the Beer Braised Brisket. All beer is made with a grain of one type or another, this was made with oats. The word cream is used because it is mellower than a regular dark porter.
There are as many different kinds of porter as there are beers. The next kind she is going to make is Black Strap Porter, using Black Strap Molasses.
I discovered Porter when I was in the Navy and we visited Australia for 4 days. I am not much of a drinker, so if I drink one it usually takes me all day...it's not bad warm either

That's okay Angela, you know what they say they use the Budweiser team of horses for don't you? Well, that tells you what I think of beer. The porter doesn't taste like oatmeal, it's just used in the brewing. If you get a chance, just taste it. It does give some dishes a great flavor...not oatmealy or beery
There's one called Black Butte Porter that's pretty good.
